"/media/Encarta 98" is my cd-rom? what happens when i put in my usb stick? oh "/media/Bob's USB" i am ignoring the part where nobody has cd media in tyool 2013 the windows setup is 1980s poo poo from cp/m. it has no advantages. (in fact, internally i think it uses block devices and mountpoints just like unix, and the drive letter mappings are arbitrary)

quick question to finish up that project i have been working on in python the data type set is basically a list of non-repeating pieces of information. how do i copy this data structure to c# for the list of utub urls so i don't have the one video that got quoted 1000 times listed that many times? for example, i use code:code:

that's what a set is in all languages. in c# you could use HashSet<String> to store them instead of list or if you have a list already you could just do new HashSet<String> uniques = new HashSet<String>(list); you could also use the linq Distinct() query to get uniques.

even just replacing drive letters with numbers would be more intuitive. c: could be 0: (or 1: if you are an idiot) which while still vague as poo poo, manages to be ever so slightly more intuitive than RANDOM LETTER

selecting (//link[@src]) doesn't work for getting the "pure" youtube links from embedded videos, possibly because the text from those documents doesn't exist until javascript runs and plants it? idk i'll just run a script to clean up the data with python tomorrow it should only take like half an hour to create

Forums Terrorist posted:it sounds dumb enough to involve stallman somehow stallman came from the world of lisp workstations. Unix was never more than a temporary means to an end for him Emacs and gnu were just an attempt to return to the holy land of Zmacs P.s. iBad autocompletes "Emacs" as emasculating. Makes you fink.

drive letters are dumb unix mount points are even dumber, how does it make any sense to say that a USB key is in a subfolder of my hard disk the best system (as always) is the Classic Mac OS idea of every drive being its own root level by name

~Coxy posted:drive letters are dumb directories are an abstraction that can represent lots of things, hence the term "directory" pre-dating "folder." /proc and /dev have nothing to do with your hard disk OR your usb key, they're not connected to drives at all. the filesystem is bigger and more abstract than just your files ~Coxy posted:the best system (as always) is the Classic Mac OS idea of every drive being its own root level by name this is what solaris has done for literally 20 years i don't know why it takes linux so long to catch up to ye olden days of desktop unix
